I was absolutely SHOCKED to see the rating on this book as less than 4 stars. And then I read the poor reviews and realised that society has disintegrated to the point where adults are incapable of lifting their minds out of the gutter to enjoy a special book with their children. That one reviewer couldn't get past the fact that the character's names are Little Nut Brown Hare and Big Nut Brown Hair is simply beyond the comprehension.

This story centers around a young rabbit trying to grasp how big love is while he settles down to rest for the night. I doubt I'm the only parent to have experienced their child trying to grasp difficult concepts as a part of the struggle to keep from succumbing to sleep. The adult rabbit is patient and loving, and shows in the younger rabbit's terms just how much he loves the younger rabbit. In the end the younger rabbit goes to sleep content in the sure knowledge that he is loved.

The illustrations are beautiful and complement the message of the book which is that there is no way to express how big love is.

My older child is 5 years old and our copy of this book is falling to pieces. I'm adding the book to our registry for our second baby and if I don't receive it as a gift (which we did the first one) I'll be purchasing it myself so that my second child can also enjoy this great story at bedtime.

i remember this book from when i was a kid. i love the message and think its cute, unfortunately my daughter doesn't agree at 19 months she will totally get up from my lap and walk away from me at the very first page! i think if the illustrations were more colorful it might grab her attention more but i can't begin to say how many times i've tried to get her to sit still for this book. she just not interested and my daughter loves books!! just not this one.

This is a story that I told my own children when they were small. I could have written the book! My grandchildren each have their own copies of this delightful book. They delight in asking each time we speak or write, "Guess how much I love You?

This was a gift, the book has thick pages and is such an adorable story! It is very durable and I can see this being passed on to the next generation. My friend loved it was a hit at the shower! Babies R Us comes thru again!! I'm an avid shopper and go nowhere else! Service speaks for itself..

My little girl loves this book. I purchased this book during the beginning of my pregnancy and I would read it aloud every night. My daughter is now two and she still loves this book. If I ask her where is "Little Nutbrown Hare", she would smile and go get the book so that I could read it to her. I lost the first copy, but I knew that I had to go purchase another copy because my daughter would have a fit if I didn't read it to her every night. She loves when I read the part about Big Nutbrown Hare leaning over to kiss Little Nutbrown Hare good night, because she is ready for me to kiss her on her forehead. She also finishes the story by trying to whisper and putting her finishing touch of "The End". I wouldn't trade this book in for anything.

I don't review too many things but I just had to comment on this book. Even now 2 years after my son was born I get tears in my ears when I read it (or listen to my husband read it). It always invokes the memory of my husband holding his newborn son in the NICU. Anyone that cannot recognize the point of this story or gets hung up on the names of the characters must never have seen the look in a man's eye when he holds his child for the very first time. There are many more books about a mother's love so I'm glad that their is a story recognizing the sentimental bond between a father and son.

I have been reading this book to my son for 6 years. With another baby on the way, I will be reading it again and again, for years to come. It has started a tradition in my family of coming up with fun and unusual ways to say how much we love each other. I can't believe that of all the complaints, the biggest is their names Little and Big Nutbrown Hare. Really? This book is a new classic and is filled wonderful illustrations. And for those who wrote that their child was bored with the story, they might not be ready for it. I would suggest trying again when they are a little older. I guarantee they'll be telling you at bedtime that they love you to the moon too!
